, and they can overheat easily—which can make sun protection during family outings challenging. Here’s how to keep your little one safe.According to the Canadian Paediatric Society and the Canadian Dermatology Association,shouldn’t wear any sunscreen because their delicate skin barrier is vulnerable to everything you put on it—including the ingredients in sunblock.

But these products, says Victoria Taraska, a dermatologist at the Derm Centre in Winnipeg, especially if you’re using them in or near water.
“For little babies in floaties, it’s important to remember that the sun can penetrate up to a metre into the water, and there’s a reflection off the surface as well,” says Taraska. “Parents should not use these as the sole sun protection measure.”
